Abstract

The invention provides a method for preparing neopentyl glycol, which belongs to the technical field of alcohol preparation. The method includes the following steps: (1) adjusting the pH value of the hydroxypivalaldehyde solution to 7.5-10; (2) the hydroxypivalaldehyde treated in the step (1) is under the action of a hydrogenation catalyst at a temperature of 110-140°C, Under the condition of a pressure of 2.0-5.0Mpa, the crude product of neopentyl glycol is obtained by catalytic hydrogenation; (3) the crude product of neopentyl glycol obtained in step (2) is purified. The content of by-products such as esters in the crude neopentyl glycol prepared by the neopentyl glycol preparation method of the present invention is extremely low, and the yield and purity of the neopentyl glycol are improved. In addition, the hydroxypivalaldehyde raw material system can be directly used for catalytic hydrogenation without any treatment, which reduces the process steps of aldol condensation and catalytic hydrogenation to prepare neopentyl glycol, and improves production efficiency.
